Khalid Al Turk to be extradited to U.S.A.?

Khaled Jamil El Turk

Lebanese businessman Khaled Jamil El Turk, wanted by U.S. authorities for conspiring to import pseudo ephedrine, appeared before Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith this morning, after being on remand at the Belize Central Prison since mid-October. In court, a bundle of documents, presented as evidence requesting El Turk’s extradition to the United States, was tendered by attorney Magali Perdomo. Perdomo called upon Tasha Young, Foreign Services Officer, responsible for the United States Desk, to testify under oath to receiving the formal request from representatives of the U.S. Embassy on October eighteenth. According to Young, after receiving the letter from two employees of the embassy, she forwarded the mail to the Attorney General’s Office. A warrant for El Turk’s arrest was found at the scene of Aziz Mohammed Dib’s murder which occurred inside a Lebanese restaurant in the Farmers Market area on October twenty-third. While there is no link between the warrant and the homicide, El Turk has been in custody since October eighteenth. Khaled Jamil El Turk is represented by Senior Counsel Edwin Flowers. He joins the Seawell brothers, as well as Rhett Fuller, who are also wanted by U.S. authorities. The matter has been adjourned until February seventh, 2013.

@storm. maybe you are not aware but Belizeans are repeatedly caught in the US for serious crimes that include large quantities of drugs, firearms, gang violence and others and instead of serving time, they are deported to Belize. That is why we have this wave of crime because it is being sent back to us and the rest of central america. US State Department at its best. On the other hand while this one is going rest assure that the US will not sent the a@#!$ Mcafee to Belize.

If you want McAfee for extradition, then you got to indict him first for felony murder. Read the treaty.
Embarrassing the GOB is not sufficient for extradition. Besides everyone knows the government is a joke. What are the results on the bullet tests? If they match, then indict.

Buju you will someday regret using those words to hell with America. This guy might be a terrorist and too many of them running to Belize as a shelter. Let me tell you this, I live in the U.S. for most of my life and people from the Middle East are not to be trusted! They would blow up themself inside a crowded market or on a crowded bus just to make a point, now you think about that. As far as McAffe is concern, it shows the incompetence of the Belize Police for letting this IDIOT escape. Belizean Gang Banger or any so call gang should be executed on the spot for a better Belize! they are making a bad name for the country.

People from the Middle East think nothing much about women. They have no rights, schooling or any type of education. It’s like speak when you are spoken to, but not before. They are a bunch of terrorist who don’t give a damn about nobody else but themself and you want to shelter this IDIOT? Send him back and let the chip fall wherever. As far as McAffe is concern, this just show the incompetence of the Belize Police for letting him escape. The last time I ck it’s not a big country, but he manage to hide and make a fool of the country.
